Marks Of Grace Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Within these verses we meet the discipline of consciousness. The marks of the Lord Jesus are not scars on a body but the inner proofs that the old self has yielded to the I AM. The body is only the clothes of sense; the crucifixion is the inner movement by which belief in separation is replaced by unity. When Paul says let no man trouble me, he teaches us to refuse the intrusion of an opposite state into our awareness and to hold fast to the fact that the Christ is already present in our very being. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is not a future favor but the felt presence that accompanies your spirit now, an energy that makes your thoughts, feelings, and perceptions harmonize with the divine. So you align your imagination with the truth that you are the embodiment of grace, and you live from that inner state until it becomes your outer experience.
